Topic: How many of us are interested in HDMI audio? (Read 9560 times)

I am just wondering if there are enough of us out there interested in getting hdmi audio working so we can sponsor (thom probably) to get it working. I understand that at some point this will be integrated in to 0810, but at the moment it might be a while off.

If you are interested can you add your name and how much (in $$) you would be willing to contribute;

We have it working here under 0710 & 0810 for nVidia based GPU's at least. You need to install a recent nVidia driver build (180.51 works...and we are currently using 180.61) and an updated alsa-1.0.19 or above.

I need to play around with that more in 710, I'm running hdmi for video from my diskless MD to my reciever and a spdif coax connection for audio. Ideally I'd love to remove the coax and run straight hdmi (if only to get rid of one more cable ). Is there a wiki on how to set this up for nvidia based GPUs? If not after I get it working I'll post something on the wiki about it.

I dont think there is a wiki page on this yet...but I will make one asap ;-)

Together with updated nVidia & alsa drivers we also have an updated AVwizard that makes actually changing/configuring HDMI audio as simple as running the wizard. This should be in the SVN for 0810 soon.

Andrew - have you any idea what is going on with the nVidia driver versions? It seems to have flipped back and forth between 180.xx and 185.. a couple of times, with the latest being a 185.xx, have you tried those versions?

Sounds good andrew. I have been running 180.60 and alsa 1.20 for a while but had little / no luck under mce getting HDMI audio. Out of interest how have you stopped the avwizard / mce changing the asound.conf file away from hdmi?

For the time being under 0810 Alpha you will need to do apt-get dist-upgrade on your Core & MD's... this will get you the new AVwizard and any other fixes changes since you last upgraded. For the time being you will need to upgrade nVidia & alsa drivers by hand though I'm afraid.
